A Reform UK activist who had been campaigning ahead of Thursday's Gorton and Denton by-election has been suspended over racist and antisemitic comments he made on social media.

For several days Reform UK refused to say whether Adam Mitula, an interim campaign manager in the Tameside area, had been suspended from the party but Mitula confirmed it on Monday.

It comes after evidence was published appearing to show he posted a highly offensive racial slur aimed at black people, and also made what appeared to be a derogatory remark about Jewish women.

He also appears to have agreed with a Holocaust denier that the number of Jewish people murdered by the Nazis had been exaggerated. Mitula said his comments have been taken out of context.

These were the "out of context" posts he made..

I know you're asking Andrew, Papa.

But I need to say that Farage has done no harm to the UK. Doesn't mean I'm confident that his party, in government, could mend Broken Britain - it's so far gone down the pan.

But rather Farage than Starmer. My ideal would be an alliance with Kemi, who needs to remove the losers that languish on her front bench (Cleverly, Atkins, Stride, etc)

Good job he was sniffed out. Labour is full of anti-semites.

Made us all poorer by successfully campaigning for the UK to leave the EU. In practice this means fewer jobs and higher taxes for those working.

Matt Goodwin?

Mr Goodwin also addressed the results on X. He wrote: "We are losing our country. A dangerous Muslim sectarianism has emerged.

"We have only one general election left to save Britain. Vote Reform every chance you get.

"I will continue the fight. I will always fight for you. I will stand at the next general election."

Asked earlier at the count if the result showed that Reform's progress was 'faltering', Mr Goodwin said: "We have more than doubled our vote in Labour's backyard. I think we've embarrassed Labour in one of their strongest seats. I think if we can do this here, we can do this pretty much anywhere.

"Lucy Powell said Reform finishing ahead of Labour in Greater Manchester would be existential for the Labour Party. What you're seeing today is the rise of the new politics.

"On one side is Green. They want to legalise heroin and crack cocaine and have open borders. On the other side is Reform. We want to control the borders, invest in our own people and prioritise the British hard-working majority.

"This is the future of British politics. British people are going to wake up tomorrow and think we have a choice. Do we want to go with mad Zack and the Greens or do we want to go with Nigel Farage and a Reform government?

"Every Labour MP will wake up tomorrow, look at the Reform vote and think 'Oh gosh, we are in trouble'. We have planted a flag in northern England."

In reality, "... we can stiff Labour anywhere".

At least they have the next conference song lined up to replace Insomnia:
'If we can lose it there, we can lose it anywhere!'' :D

Yep there were plenty of sore losers this morning and a plethora of excuses by several political parties as well.

Perhaps politicians need to do less ignoring and more listening to their constituents instead of apeing policies from other political parties.

You don't get it. Labour is the enemy; Reform is an option.

And they don’t even have a non-elected Shadow Chancellor!

tbf, the Lib Dem’s do have eight times the number of MPs than Reform, and all of them were actually elected whilst standing for that Party ;)
